fourteen-ffteenths of the Mormons in Utah are monogamists and says that "there are about 130, ,OOO Mormons in Utah. Of these quite 80, 900 are under the age of eighteen years. This leaves 50,000 above that age. Of these quite one-third are in polygamy ,and these one-third are the brains of the whole. The people who have been, through the years, selected for leaders and who are in- tended to be the ruling class are in polyga- n.y." The Tribune adds that 'the editor of the Star is the very close friend of the Presi- dent of the United States''
 John Ruskin, replying to the secretary of a library in England who, observing that there was a great demand for Charles Kingsley's works and an equal demand from about the to the latter author asking him how it was that so many people were led to admire such widely different writers, said: That two such opposite authors should take hold of the same minds is entirely probable if the oppo- sites are both part of the world and it's sky. Kingsley liked east wind; like west. Kings ley stepped westward, Yankee way. I step eastward, thinking the old star stands where it used to- There was much in Kingsley that was delightful to raw thinkers, and men gen. erally remain raw in this climate. He was always extremely civil to me and to Carlyle, but failed in the most cowardly way when we had the Eyre battle to fight. He was a fawed-partly rotten, partly distorted-per- son, but may be read with advantage by
 
 of me, because speak of things they never saw or never attended to. I extremely dis like Kingsley's tragedy myself, but if other people like hearing of girls being devoured or torn to pieces that is their affair.

RAW

When singers throat is raw you can't expect her songs to be well done.-Pittsburg Chronicle.
 "First-class hair cut" says a tonsorial arr tist's sign on one of the principal streets. We should think if a man had frst-class hair he wouldn't want it cut.-Boston Cour- fer.
 The young woman who read the essay at graduation upon ''The stern duties of life upon which we are about entering" was last seen in the hammock reading seaside novel, while her mother was washing the dinner dishes in the hot kitchen-Boston Tran script.
 At Lapeer, Michigan, they strew bread smeared with poisoned butter about the streets for the purpose of getting away with unwary dogs. The dogs don't take to it half so readily as the children, however, and a child muzzling ordinance is talked off, Chicago News.
 A misanthropic Frenchman has invented a telephone cable, by means of which one 1 can sit in New York and hear people singing in Paris. This is no good; what we want is something that will prevent us from hearing certain people singing in the same block. We hear too many people sing gnow.-Burdette. For very safe and lucrative business, with the charm of novelty and excitement added thereto, we suggest that scientific train rob- ping is by far the best thing discovered in a long time. It beats the lottery all to pieces. It is surer in it's returns, and at least you always get your money back and have any quantity of fun.-Austin Texas) States- man.
 Excuse me, sir," he said, "but you are something of a reading man, are you not?" "Oh, yes, sir. I often read half the night through"
 'fI thought so. I am seldom mistaken in judging character. You have passion for literature, supposea" 'Not exactly. I'm proof-reader. "-New York Sun.
 A certain farmer of Hart county, talking
 about his cotton crop, told us that his preach CTS patch was the best cotton he had. "Where is your preachers patch located?' we asked. "Right in the center of the field.' "Why did
 you put it in the cen Ter of the feld?" "So
 that the Lord couldn't send rain on the
 preachers patch without raining on mine.''-
 Savannah News.
 You are frightened at that loud roaring
 noise are you? Think it's an earthquake
 becauss it jars the windows, heys Well, it
 isn't-it's simply a prominent citizen down
 at the court house paying his taxes He has
 found out that they are $1.75 and he is mak-
 ing all that noise about it. He paid $15 for
 cigars last month, and his bar bill was $40,
 and only last week he was fined $10 for being
 drunk and disorderly; and he paid all of
 these things and never even little roar
 not even growl. But great Scott listen to
 him now when he finds his taxes are $1.75!
 Just hear him howl! He says the government,
 general and local, is fraud and a snare and
 a delusion. Taxes $1.75! He won't stand
 it He knows when he's oppressed and
 ground down! A dollar and seventy-fve
 cents for whole years taxes! Great heav-
 ems, he says, no wonder men are socialists!-

Easy and Effective Decoration.

 There is very curious and effective style of ornamental or decorative art, which though occasionally practiced in Turkey and other eastern countries-is by no means very common even where it is best known. It may be called bead-inlaving, and is so easy that any boy or girl ten years old can achieve excellent results in it by following these sim pie directions:
 Take piece of wood, let us say beech or mahogany, or pear-tree, or indeed any of the fine grained kinds. Let it be half an inch in thickness and twelve inches in length by six in breadth. Draw on it your design. This done follow the pattern with a series of holes bored in the wood with a straight round awl or drill, or gimlet, as close to- gether as possible without splitting the wood
 between them. Then put the beads into the holes so that the perforations will show. To
 secure the beads in place the holes may first he filled with glue or varnish. The work will then be very durable. If you choose the holes in the beads may be filled with 8 mixture of fine transparent glue and any col bring matter such as umber or chrome. The beads should be sunk rather deeply into the wood. When the wood splits easily, or it is desirable to make the holes very close togeth- er the holes may be bored with hot iron rod. It will often add to the effect if line or fine groove be cut with pen-knife or 8 parting, or V tool around the edge of the bead pattern. The ground may also be stamped or indented with wood -carver's stamp.
 When very small brass-headed pin or tack is passed through each head the ap- pearanee of the whole is very much im- proved. Such tacks may be obtained with convex or half-round heads not larger than those of pins.
 Of course work of this kind need not be strictly limited to beads. The different kinds of the marble used by boys may similarly be set in wood; and they are made in an endless variety of color. A cabinet thus studded would be increased in value far beyond the cost of the marbles, though they were the most expensive agates. Marbles and beads may be set together. To make the holes for the former 8 center
 bit or auger should be used. Long, straight
 beads may be used with good effect. To set
 them make grooves with gouge, and coat the grooves with mastic or Turkish cement, or
 with strong varnish, and press the long beads
 or bugles into the cavities.

Duty of the Summer Visitor.

From Good Housekeeplng.I
 Country residents are proverbially hospit- able, and for that reason we should be doub- ly careful not to impose upon them, for as general rule they are so overrun with com pany that the end of the summer finds them worn out. Every member of household is an added care to the head of it, especially if, as is so often the case, there are few servants or none at all. and even if the mistress is
 fortunate enough to possess a corps of we'll trained domestics, too much company is apt
 to disarrange the household affairs in the lower regions.
 If you are fortunate enough to have 8 friend to whom you know visit will afford real pleasure, by little forethought you can yet make it still more enjoyable In the first place fix definite time for your depar- ture before you arrive. If she is not wise enough to do so, be sure when you write to l announce your coming to say on what day you will leave, and then be still more sure that you do leave, no matter how hospitably you may be urged to prolong your stay. It is better to have your departure sincerely re- gretted than to have the faintest feeling of relief that you are gone.
 There many ways in which a sum-
 mer visitor may be a real help. If cir cumstances warrant It you can offer your
 aid in household matters and spend an
 hour hulling strawberries, or whipping the
 cream which you are afterward to enjoy, and if you see that assistance of that kind
 will not be acceptable, there will be still
 something that you can do; you can ar
 range the flowers that perhaps the busy
 house mother never finds time for, and yet
 enjoys so much; you can coax the children
 out of the kitchen, when you know she is
 specially busy, and entertain them in your
 own room, and there are countless other
 little things that kindly heart and 8
 quick eye will discover, in which you can
 make VOLT nresence a constant cnmfnrt

A NEW VIEW OF THE NEW SOUTH

A NEW VIEW OF THE NE w SOUIE4
 The light in which Mr. Lewis H. Blair of Richmond, Virginia, looks at the new South is not quite as rosy as that which has eheered the vision of others, but what he sees is probably just as real. And as he is 8 southerner by birth and loyal to the inter ests of the South he cannot fairly be accused of misrepresenting the facts.
 MT. Blair points out that most of the re- cent growth of the South has been confined to the cities, which have advanced, but al- most always at the expense of the surround ing country, and not in consequence of its improvement This seems to be owing to the peculiar manner in which the cities treat the country districts in the exchange of trade. The city people not only handle the products of the country people, but also fur nish them with all their supplies. In the former transactions they exact large sums in the shape of commissions and storage, while in the latter they make enormous profits be- cause the sales are mostly on long credit Indeed, it is not uncommon for the profit on the necessaries of life to reach as high as one hundred per cent. Usually trading is an ad-
  as the city merchants cut both ways, what the cities gain the country loses.
 But while most of the cities of the South have made progress, that progress is not as great as is generally believed. Of the thirty chief cities south of Virginia and Tennessee four have actually decreased in population during period of ten years, while the net increase of the whole number was only 142, 259, or less by some fifty thousand than the growth of the towns of the single State of New Jersey during the same period. The in- crease of population has been mostly con- fined to few isolated points like Richmond, which four cities just about half the numer- icaI growth of the South is found. It is officially stated that in the North the depos- it's in savings banks reach the enormous sum of $1, III ,530, ,578, this fact is rightly taken to prove the prosperous condition of northern people. But in the South savings banks are almost unknown, and the five or six small ones that do exist have been established only within the last two or three years. Again, while the eleven southern States contain nearly quarter of the country's population, they produce only about 8 twentieth of the value of the country's manufactures.
 But notwithstanding these facts the South is going ahead, and there are numerous indi- cations that her progress is to be made more rapid and substantial

 There is no man so feasted as the chapel pastor. His tall and yet round body and his broad face might easily be mistaken for the outward man of a sturdy farmer, and he likes his pipe and glass. He dimes every Sunday, and at least once week besides, at the house of one of his stoutest upholders. It is said that at such dinner, after large plateful of black currant pudding, finding there was still some juice left, he lifted the plate to his mouth and carefully licked it all round; the hostess hastened to offer a spoon, but he declined, thinking that was much the best way to gather the essence of the fruit So simple were his manners he needed no spoon; and indeed, if we look back, the apostles managed without forks and put their fingers in the dish. After dinner the cognac bottle is produced, and the pastor fills his tumbler half full of spirit and but lightly ,dashes 1t with water. It is cognac and not brandy; for your chapel minister thinks it an affront if anything more common than the best French liquor is put before him; he likes it strong and with it his long clay pipe Very frequently another minister-some- times two or three-come in at the same time and take the same dinner, and after- ward form genial circle with cognac and tobacco, when the room speedily becomes full of smoke and the bottle of brandy soon disappears. In these family parties there is not the least approach to over -conviviality, It IS merely the custom-no one thinks any thing of glass and a pipe; it is perfectly innocent; it is not local thing, but com- mon and understood. The consumption of brandy and tobacco and the good things of dinner, tea and supper Gfor the party gene rally sit out the three meals) must in a month cost the host a good deal of money, but all things are cheerfully borne for the good of the church. Never were men feast ed with such honest good will as these pas tors and if budding Paul or Silas happens to come along who has scarce yet passed his ordination, the youthful divine may stay 8 week if he likes and lick the platter clean. In fact so constant is this hospitality that in certain houses it is impossible to pay a visit at any time of the year without finding one of these young brothers reposing amid the fat of the land, and doubtless indulging in pleasant spiritual communion with the daughters of the mansion. Something in this system of household ministers of reli- zion reminds one of the welcome and rever- ence said to be extended in the East to the priests who take up their residence indefi- nitely and are treated as visible incarnations of the deity, whose appetites it is meritori- Ous to satisfy.

 Figaro says that Victor Hugo never knew how much he was worth till some of his friends inquired of the Rothschilds in 1884 and found that he had 5000, ,O0O francs de. posted with them.

 The electric motor will probably be very useful to street railroad companies. It is said that out of seven hundred horses pur- chased by the New York Belt Line railroad company since the destruction of it's stables by fire three hundred have died from the combined effect of their ''greenness" and the heat. Electric motors won't be disturbed by heat.
 The pension bureau does 8 great deal of business, although those who find delay in dealing with it may not think so. The num- Der of letters received at the bureau and sent out from it average more than 12,000 g day. The total number of pension certif- cates issued during the fiscal year just ended

 It is notable that South Carolina is ahead of the other Southern States in allowing the negro his civil rights. In South Carolina any well dressed, well behaved negro may ride in first-class coach on frst-class ticket. The railroad law of the State provides that there shall be no discrimination against them and there is none. They ride in the however, the colored passenger with first class ticket is compelled to ride in smoking car.

The increase this year is eighty-six millions six hundred and seventy-two thousand dol. lars. In the past ten years the increase has been four hundred millions of dollars. And ii is estimated that not less than thousand millions of dollars worth of personal prop erty is kept out of the assessors grasp.
